Hi, I'm Elysse.
Here's my story (the abridged version):
As a kid, one of my favourite things to do was read at the dinner table (much to my parents' chagrin)
The first recipe I ever learned how to make was chocolate chip cookies (and I still make them regularly 🍪)
I like to play guitar, paint, run, cook, and travel (fun fact: I lived in London, England for two years!)
